The films were annealed at different temperatures in an argon atmosphere for h. Formation of metal nanoparticles was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). UV-Vis optical absorption spectroscopy was used for optical characterization of the samples. With the increase of annealing temperature, the size of the metal particles in the matrix varied. Surface plasmon resonance bands were observed in the Au/ and Cu/ composite films due to the formation of nanometer-size Au and Cu particles in the matrix. However, a similar behavior was not seen with Pt/ composites. Upon incorporation of Pt nanoparticles in the matrix, the optical band gap of the matrix was drastically reduced. r 3 Elsevier B.V.

Introduction Nanocomposite films that consist of small metal particles in the range of a few to several nanometers (nm) embedded in metal oxides have attracted attention due to their many useful electronic and optical properties as a result of quantum size effects [,]. These systems find useful applications in catalysis, photocatalysis, sensors and novel optoelectronic devices. Several techniques like ion implantation [3], sputtering [], and electrodeposition [5] have been used to prepare nanocomposite films with *Corresponding author.

However, the use of functional matrix materials like, MgO and Al O 3 for the preparation of nanocomposites is relatively recent [,7]. Recently, ordering of metal atoms in semiconductor compounds is attracting more interest because they are not thermodynamically stable under bulk growth condition. Furthermore, it is accompanied by change in the band gap even for fixed composition. In the present work, we prepared several metal/ nanocomposites like Au/, Cu/ and Pt/ by radio frequency (r.f.) co-sputtering technique and carried out their structural and optical characterizations. The formation of nanometer size metal particles in matrix and their evolution on post-deposition thermal annealing and with the variation of metal content in the films have been studied by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and optical absorption spectroscopy techniques. The optical band gap of the matrix was drastically reduced from 3.3 to. ev on incorporation of Pt nanoparticles in them.. Experimental M/ (M=Au, Cu, Pt) nanocomposite thin films containing different metal contents were deposited on quartz glass substrates by r.f. co-sputtering technique. For the preparation of the Au/ and Pt/ composite films, three pieces of Au and Pt wires of. mm diameter were placed symmetrically on a mm diameter target and sputtered with W r.f. power at mtorr Argon gas pressure. The content of Au and Pt in the films varied by changing the length of Au and Pt wires (, 3 and 7.5 mm for Au and 3, 7.5 and 5 mm for Pt) on the target, keeping the deposition time fixed ( h). Cu/ nanocomposite films were prepared by cosputtering of Cu (.5 mm diameter and mm length wires) and target (5 mm diameter) with W power at mtorr Argon gas pressure for h. The content of Cu in the films was varied by changing the number of Cu wires on the target. The thickness of the as-deposited films was measured by a surface profilometer. The thickness of the composite films varied from. to.75 mm with the variation of metal content in them. Some as-deposited films were annealed at different temperatures for h in argon atmosphere. For TEM study, the films were deposited on carbon-coated NaCl substrates and transferred subsequently to the cooper grids. For the microstructural characterization a JEOL- electron microscope was used. Optical absorption spectra of the films were measured at room temperature using a Shimadzu UV-Vis-NIR 3 PC double beam spectrophotometer over the 8 nm wavelength range. XRD patterns were recorded using Cu-Ka radiation of a Bruker diffractometer. 3. Results and discussion From the TEM micrographs we could observe the formation of homogeneously distributed metal nanoparticles in the matrix. Fig. shows the TEM

In general, the average size of the Au particles increased with the increase of annealing temperature. It has been observed that the increase of Au content in the composite films cause only an increase in the density of the particles, without causing any significant change in their average size. For the Cu/ composite films, we can observe the nanoparticles of size ranging from to 7 nm dispersed in the matrix. With the increase of Cu content in the films, the size and the density of the particles increased. For the films containing higher Cu contents the size of the particles increased with the increase of annealing temperature. However, for the films with lower Cu contents the size of the particles did not increase noticeably on annealing. In Fig., the TEM micrographs of the Cu/ composite films with different Cu content are shown. Pt nanoparticles were formed in the matrix on co-sputtering of Pt and.

Typical TEM micrographs of annealed ( C) Pt/ composite films prepared with 3 pieces of 3 mm and 5 mm length Pt wires and the size distribution of the Pt particles. different Pt contents and annealed at C. The corresponding size distributions were measured from the micrographs and presented in Fig. 3. In the composite films prepared with 3 pieces of Pt wires of 3 mm length, the size of the Pt particles was in the range of nm, with an average size of.8 nm. The increment in the Pt content in the films caused a small increase in the average size of Pt particles. For the films prepared with 3 5 mm of Pt wires, the average size of the nanoparticles was. nm. On the other hand, in the as-deposited films prepared with higher Pt content we could observe the agglomeration of small particles to form very big clusters of average size of 75 nm. On thermal annealing at C or higher temperatures the size of the particles decreased drastically due to the disintegration of small Pt particles remained in the bigger clusters. When the annealing temperature increased to C, the dimension of the nanoparticles did not increase noticeably. However, on annealing at C, the small particles aggregated to form particles with an average size of. nm. In Fig. a, the evolution of the XRD spectrum with the variation of Au content for Au/ composites films annealed at 7 C is shown. With increase of Au content, the intensity of the peaks related to the ( ) and ( ) planes of Au increase. There appeared a peak corresponding to the formation of Au O 3, intensity of which decreased with the increase of Au content in the films. Fig. b shows the XRD patterns for the Au/ composite films before and after annealing at different temperatures. With the increase of annealing temperature, the intensity of the ( ) and ( 3) reflections of increased. However, the intensity of the reflection corresponds to oxidized Au (AuO and Au O 3 ) decrease and the intensity of the ( ) reflection corresponds to Au increased. It is clear that on increasing the annealing temperature, the Au in oxidized state is reduced to metallic gold. Fig. 5 shows the X-ray diffraction patterns for the Cu/ composite films. XRD patters revealed the peaks related to the ( ) plane corresponding to Cu and ( ) plane of oxidized Cu along with the peaks corresponding to matrix. With the increase of annealing temperature, the crystallinity of the matrix increased gradually and the peak corresponding to Cu O became more intense. On increasing the annealing temperature to 3 C or above an increase in the intensity of the peak

Fig. a shows the X-ray diffraction patterns for Pt/ composite films grown with different Pt contents and annealed at C. The pattern of revealed two peaks related to the ( ) and ( ) planes of the crystalline matrix. For the samples grown with 3 pieces of 3 mm Pt wires, a peak was identified as the ( ) reflection of PtO. However, a lower intensity of the PtO peak is obtained when the content of Pt increased. This behavior indicates that the effect of oxidation of Pt is lower when the content of Pt is high in the composites. In the spectrum for the samples prepared with pieces of 9 mm length Pt wires, a peak corresponding to the ( ) reflection of Pt was identified. Formation of metal nanoparticles in the composite films is evident from their optical spectra. It is well known that small metallic particles show the optical absorption due to surface plasmon resonance in the ultraviolet-visible region. Fig. 7 shows the optical absorption spectra of the Au/ thin films with different Au content in the matrix (I) and annealed at different temperature (II). There appeared a broad absorption band in the spectral range of 5 8 nm for all the films, the intensity of which increased systematically with the variation of Au content and the temperature of annealing. It is evident that the absorption band is due to the surface plasmon resonance of the Au nanoparticles. With the increase of annealing temperature, the position of the peak shifted gradually towards higher wavelengths. This effect is attributed to the increment in the particle size caused, as mentioned above, by the increases of the annealing temperatures of the samples.

(II) Au/ nanocomposite films prepared with 3 pieces of Au wires of 3 mm length; as-grown; annealed at 5 C and (c) annealed at 7 C. Fig. 8 shows the typical optical absorption spectra for the Cu/ composite films. The spectra revealed an absorption band at around 5 nm, which was assigned to the surface plasmon resonance of Cu nanoparticles. The intensity of the surface plasmon resonance band did not change very much with the increases of the Cu content in the films. However, with the increase of annealing temperature, the intensity of the absorption band increased sharply and its position shifted from 5 to 59 nm. Such behavior is due to the growth of Cu particles caused by the increase of annealing temperature. The optical band gap for the in M/ (M=Cu, Pt) composite films was determined by extrapolating the linear portion of ðahnþ versus photon energy ðhnþ plots and are shown in Tables and. For the undoped matrix, it may be noted (Table ) that, as the annealing temperature increased, the band gap energy decreased. The energy gap was 3.3 ev for the as-deposited films and it decreased to 3.5 ev when the films were annealed at C. This behavior may be attributed to an increase in the crystalline phase of the matrix. For the Cu/ nanocomposites grown with different Cu content we can observe that the band gap energy corresponding to the as-deposited films increased with the increase of Cu content in them. The increases of energy gap with the increases of Cu content is due to the well known Burstein-Moss shift [8]. On the other hand, for the Pt/ composite films the direct band gap energy of the matrix decreased on increasing the content of Pt in the films. On annealing the composite films, the band gap decreased (II)

The decrease of band gap of the matrix is basically due to the doping of by Pt. However, the variation of band gap on the content of Pt incorporation and the annealing temperature is complicated. As the room temperature solubility of Pt in
9 U. Pal et al. / Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells 8 () is low, incorporation of excess Pt in it did not form a homogeneous dispersion/ mixture. This is the reason for the formation of big agglomerates of Pt in asdeposited Pt/ composites prepared with 3 5 mm of Pt wires. On annealing the composite films, those bigger agglomerates dispersed more homogeneously in the matrix due to the increase of solubility of Pt in and hence formed smaller clusters. On the other hand, due to the increase of solubility of Pt in, more Pt was incorporated in the matrix even without forming clusters (as dopant) on increasing the temperature of annealing. So, the decrease of band gap energy on increasing the annealing temperature of the composite films is the result of higher Pt doping in matrix.. Conclusions In conclusion, we report the preparation of M/ (M=Au, Cu, Pt) nanocomposites by r.f. co-sputtering technique. The formation of metal nanoparticles was demonstrated by TEM, XRD and optical absorption spectroscopy. In general, the average size of the metal nanoparticles in the matrix increases with the increase of metal content in the films. With the increase of the annealing temperature, the average size of the Au and Cu particles in the composites increases. However, in the Pt/ nanocomposites with higher Pt content, we observe the formation of very big clusters of average size of 75 nm. On annealing at Cor above the size of the Pt particle decreases drastically, but, when the annealing temperature increases to C the small particles aggregates to form bigger particles. XRD patterns of the M/ composites revealed peaks corresponding to metal in oxidized state which indicates that the metal particles formed in matrix remain both in its elemental and oxide states. The intensity and position of the surface plasmon resonance absorption band of Au and Cu nanoparticles show a strong dependence on the variation of the metal content and annealing temperature. The optical band gap for the matrix in the Cu/ composite films shifts towards higher energy with increase of the Cu content, indicating a Brustein-Moss shift due to doping effect. For the Pt/ composite films the direct band gap energy of the matrix decreases on increasing the Pt content in the films. References [] G. Zhao, H. Kozuka, T. Yoko, Thin Solid Films 7 (99) 7. [] K.
